Today’s blog post suffered from frequent interruptions by children with hacking coughs, which, incidentally, were not caused by the H1N1 virus or swine flu, according to the pediatrician. In the half hour the writer sat at the computer, she received requests for:
- peaches with cottage cheese
- a discussion on how to write a persuasive essay
- water
- a diaper change
- a reminder to report the absences to school officials
- a towel to clean up the water
- toast with apricot jam
- more water
- cough syrup
- string cheese
- a hug
- still more water
By now, the writer was suffering from a headache and a bad attitude, so she threw the wet towel at the computer screen and called it quits.
